“Humein Pani se bahut dar lagta hai mam. Hum English nahi jante hindi mein session chahiye Hum bahut zyada pareshan hai mam” (I am very much afraid of water. I do not know English want to have a session in Hindi. I am suffering a lot) Got a call from a client who was crying while talking. Date of session was fixed and she arrived on the dot. She looked like a typical Indian homemaker. Suffering was seen clearly in her face and eyes. After the initial talks I understood that she was suffering from severe Hydrophobia that is fear of being immersed in water, the fear has increased so much over the years that she gets suffocated if she closes her eyes even while taking bath using a bucket leave aside taking bath in river. She was in tears while sharing her fears with me.
People used to tease her and say she is acting and does not have any problem but is doing this only for attention. Since she was suffering for the past 10 years she had gone to many doctors who had prescribed medicines for depression and she was obediently taking them but after some time when she found that she was not getting any relief and she started facing a lot of side effects due to such strong medicines and so she stopped them completely and was now struggling to cope with her inner turmoil.
While talking to her i realised that she was suffering from another dreaded fear, which is fear of liquid red colour. She couldn’t stand red colour in walls, she couldn’t see liquid red colour, she told me that she used to get shivers the moment she saw these and she used to suffer very badly. She was a staunch Bihari by birth and it is compulsory for a married woman in Bihar to wear the Red Liquid called sindoor in the forehead, but she could never wear this and has been criticised by her family and by now they actually felt she was cooking this up and was just acting, since she did not get the acceptance of her family members she felt all the more depressed and suffered but could not share this with anyone. Although she never said that she was scared of blood but while she was narrating I was relating with blood and felt she was suffering from haemophobia. I had strong intuition that both the problems would easily be cured by PLR.
So saying we took the issues one by one started the session and she easily went into trance as expected.
Th : What comes to your awareness
Cl : Small small trees are there……there are lots of grass……there is a bridge in water……there are small small pebbles in water……ekdum saf pani……

Ship has sunk……its under water……can see windows of the ship……inside the water
The ship is sunk and it appears its inside water for long….Its name is some E…and there is SS written on it.
The year seems to be 1975….marry did not get married to David…she betrayed him……David’s body is floating……inside the ship….
Ship is full of water….fishes are swimming……inside ship
David died……Ship was black coloured from bottom ….….Mary betrayed….
Had to bring her back ……I was pretty sure her hydrophobia would have vanished but then it has to come from her……Meanwhile I was just googling to find out whether there was a ship wreck in 1975 and I found this
SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, I showed her this picture and she screamed and confirmed that it is the same ship….I felt that her fear had not subsided…and that she could still feel the inner tremors, she shivered on seeing the ship in the internet… she had been carrying since many years or maybe many lives……anyway the session had ended…. and I had learnt PLR doesn’t end in the session and it only begins there……so we just called the day off…we were supposed to meet the next day……for the second session…
…and would love to read about the next session and whether she overcame her fear of water.
